Art Education at the Gate

Angels Gate Cultural Center’s goal is to provide exposure to the arts for all community members to experience professional arts instruction by offering moderately priced community classes. The Artist-in-Classrooms program places professional artists in classrooms for skill-based arts education. With the inclusion of the Model Art School component, it has been able to provide diversified arts education for all classrooms at one school. This component continues to build our vision of stabilizing and expanding arts integration in each of the schools for all students.
